Authenticity

"In our time people are longing for authenticity, particularly in their life of faith. Fasting nurtures authenticity. Fasting helps us draw near to God honestly and thankfully because who we are and what we desire are exposed. We can give those desires to God in intercession and confession.

Are you willing to embrace discomfort as you create space in your life? What would you like to learn from it?"
--Lynne Baab, "Fasting"

About Me

Director of Youth and Outreach at St. Paul's United Methodist Church AND a daughter, a sister, a wife, a friend, an aunt, a god-mother, a volunteer, a woman of faith, and one who chooses to live in joy and gratefulness... Here I write mostly about faith and life - and would love to hear your comments and stories, for I believe that is how we learn and grow together!
